1 Judicially Managed Accountability and Recovery Court (JMARC) as a Community Collaborative Same People. Different Outcomes.

2 WHY?

3 Daily Number of Persons with Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System Prisons Jails Probation/Parole # SMI 276, ,140 1,350,000 31% of female and 15% of male jail inmates have mental illness (Steadman et al., 2009) June 2009 ~ 130,140 SMI inmates ready for release 24% of female and 16% of male prisoners have mental illness (Ditton, 1999) June 2009 ~ 276,994 SMI prisoners potentially ready for community reentry About 27% of 5 million SMI probationers (Crilly et al., 2009) ~ 1.35 million probationers Approximately 37,000 in state hospitals

4 Accountability and Recovery as a Community Collaborative Addiction Clinic Services Law Enforcement Legal Services Financial Services Club Houses Transportation & Housing Partners Private Providers Community Recovery Collaborative Child Care Services Educational & Vocational Services Medical Services Peer Support Network Faith Partners Mental Health Services Departments of Social Services & Health

5 Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health Addresses Social Determinants of Criminal Justice Involvement ACT Integrated care Horticulture Therapy Brushes with Life Paws Wellness on Wheels Critical Time Intervention Case management Micro enterprise 18 programs! Social Support Housing Jobs Tiny Homes community B & B program High-fidelity supported employment program State training and supervision of over 30 sites

6 In a Recovery Court model The Court does NOT dictate treatment The Court supports the individual s treatment plan as determined by the treatment provider

7 Behavioral Disorders in the Criminal Justice System Release Offense is Committed Lack of competency leads to dismissal of charges Or Structured sentencing means minimal jail time Involuntary Commitment Or Detention Center Law Enforcement Responds

8 What does this mean for the Offender and the Community? Lack of competency leads to dismissal of charges Or Release Structured sentencing means minimal jail time Involuntary Commitment Or Detention Center Offense is committed Law Enforcement Responds Complainant is a fatigued family member, upset neighbor, or frustrated merchant Asking that the Offender get help, take their medicine, not drink alcohol, and/or leave complainant alone

9 What does this mean for Law Enforcement? Lack of competency leads to dismissal of charges Or Release Structured sentencing means minimal jail time Involuntary Commitment Or Detention Center Offense is Committed Law Enforcement Responds Fewer resources available to manage other community priorities e.g. family violence, break-ins, drunk driving, robberies, preventive policing

10 What does this mean for the jail? Lack of competency leads to dismissal of charges Or Release Structured sentencing means minimal jail time Involuntary Commitment or Detention Center Offense is Committed Law Enforcement Responds Strain on the detention center from managing the individual s behavioral disorder Strain from managing the interactions of that individual with other inmates High cost of emergency stabilization

11 What does this mean for the Individual? Without Accountable Recovery Release Lack of competency leads to dismissal of charges or Structured sentencing means minimal jail time Involuntary Commitment Or Detention Center Offense is Committed Law Enforcement Responds Untreated behavioral disorder Life instability continues Repeat offenses likely Isolation of the individual in the community Minimal legal accountability

12 One Strategy: Judicially Managed Accountability and Recovery Court (JMARC) Coordinating resources for accountability and recovery in our communities

13 This is the traditional justice model. Release Offense is Committed Lack of competency leads to dismissal of charges Or Structured sentencing means minimal jail time Involuntary Commitment Or Detention Center Law Enforcement Responds

14 JMARC will mandate accountability and recovery Behavior stabilization and accountability for actions Treatment and case management Assessment and recommendations Referral to recovery court Individual is charged

15 Charged with criminal offense Eligibility Requirements Have a behavioral disorder and inability to navigate treatment The District Attorney screens all cases for public safety Willingness to come to court monthly and be held accountable Participant must be willing to engage in treatment and work toward recovery

16 Angela s Story At graduation, having accepted accountability, her criminal charges were dismissed. Angela and her children were housed and she was active in recovery. With the accountability and oversight from case management, Angela participated in weekly therapy, and medication management. She was referred to Recovery Court by Pretrial Sentencing staff Angela has a long history of both physical and sexual trauma. In addition, she and her children became homeless. Angela was charged with Fleeing/Eluding, Driving without a License, Reckless Driving

17 Paul s Story At the time of graduation Paul is engaged in recovery, living in stable housing and receives dismissal of his charges. During his time in a recovery court, Paul receives intensive case management and outpatient substance abuse & mental health treatment. At his first appearance court date, his public defender refers him to a recovery court. The recovery court staff complete a psychosocial assessment and make recommendations for treatment and housing. Paul is a veteran is charged with resisting arrest and communicating threats.

18 Quotes from Participants: I am always going to face obstacles. What has changed is how I deal with them. Recovery Court saved my life. My advice to you is to understand that these people want to help you. Make the most of it. Thank you for believing in me. Even though I have a behavior disorder, with recovery, I can be a productive member of society.

19 Benefits for Team Members: No additional allocation of funds and DA s offices Defense Attorneys Sheriff s Offices Police Departments Not handling the case during other busy sessions, offenders held accountable Clients are not in jail, are not being rearrested and are achieving some stability in their lives Less disruption of general jail population or repeatedly taxing jail capacity Receiving fewer calls, making fewer arrests, risking less injury to officers attempting to subdue a combative delusional offender

20 Benefits to the Individual Learn to manage their illness and work toward recovery Acquire proper skills to maintain healthy, crime-free lifestyle Positive legal remedy upon graduation Fewer emergency room visits Fewer involuntary commitments

21 Benefit to the Victim and Community Offender accepts accountability for actions Behavioral stability of offender Availability of law enforcement and emergency medical services for other priorities Cessation or slowing of occurrence of incidents Fewer emergency room visits

22 Two Critical Components for a Successful JMARC: 1. Case management 2. Access to medical and behavioral health therapy

23 Advantages of Case Management in a JMARC Supervises the recovery process Ensures that a treatment plan is being followed Allows for early screening to determine eligibility Provides therapy in situations where access to treatment is unavailable Provides flexibility since does not bill hours Offers assistance with other life stressors

24 Judicially Managed Accountability and Recovery Court provides: Accountability for actions Recovery for those with behavior disorders Cost savings Same people. Different outcomes.

25 Do you know what your birthright is? To be safe and happy. I did not say rich, or famous or with a big job or even healthy. But we all deserve to be safe and happy. Judge Joe Buckner to Recovery Court participants
